Founded in 2015 by Dr. Richard Hermann and his wife Freya Herman, 00 Wines is a family-owned and operated winery. They emigrated from Europe to the United States after World War II and settled in Willamette Valley, Oregon. That is where they became beloved professors and scientific researchers at Oregon State University. 00 Wines is a global luxury wine house specializing in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir bottlings from Burgundy, Champagne, and Willamette Valley, Oregon. Today, their curious nature and unwavering precision are infused into the philosophy of 00 Wines by their son, Chris.
The 00 Wines Chardonnay VGW 2017 is a captivating expression from Oregon, crafted with meticulous care from select vineyards, primarily in the Eola-Amity Hills region. With a Burgundian approach, this wine showcases a blend of ripe fruit flavors, including peach and pear, complemented by a rich texture and complex minerality. The aromatic profile includes floral notes and hints of vanilla, while the palate delivers a smooth experience with nutty undertones and vibrant acidity. The finish is impressively long, with a subtle sweetness and a touch of spice. This wine, produced using the innovative Black Chardonnay method, exhibits both elegance and depth, making it suitable for both immediate enjoyment and further aging. It includes a blend from multiple vineyards.
